The Pope of Rome is. Consider:
- The fourth beast in Daniel’s visions is Rome (the 1st was Babylon, 2nd Medo-Persia, etc).
- This little horn comes out of the 4th beast (Rome).
- This horn is a persecuting power, self-exalting, and blasphemous.
- This little horn power starts a little after Paul’s time and exists until the end of time.
- It is different from the others (a religious power).
- It sits in the temple of God pretending to be God (the Pope).
- It speaks words against the Most High and exalts himself as high as the Prince of the Host (by replacing the role of Jesus with priests and a Pope)
- It casts down some of the host (saints, by slaughtering Protestants during the counter-reformation)
- It “thinks to change the times and law” (by removing the 2nd commandment and changing the Sabbath to Sunday.)
- When this little horn came into power, it uprooted three of them (the Heruli, The Vandals, and The Ostrogoths).
Only one power fits history and prophecy – the Papacy. Look it up. Even AI knows this, if you ask ChatGPT for example:
